I'm copying everything this douchebag wrote. "Example : Commando with Cloak (step by step)
1) Create a new map with Campaign dependencies.
2) Open the Data Editor (F7)
3) Go to Data Type : Units
4) Right click on any unit and choose "Add Object...".
5) Complete the following fields :
Name : Commando
ID : Commando (suggest button)
Based On : Default Settings (Unit)
Object Family : Campaign
Race : Terran
Object Type : Unit

Right click on the value "Tychus Findlay (Commando) and choose "Modify Value".
Select Commando (the new unit). Click OK.
10) Look "Art - Model", "Art - Model (Build)" and "Art - Model (Placement)".
You see "Commando (Unknown)". This model doesn't exist.
Modify all these values with the model "Tychus Commando".
11) To the sounds, look "Sound - Group Sounds" and "Sound - Sounds".
To "Sound - Group Sounds", remove all values.
To "Sound - Sounds", keep values Attack, Pissed, Ready, What and Yes. Remove other values.

Click OK
15) On the new ability, edit "Editor - Editor Prefix". Value : Commando -
16) To remove the requirement, go to "Ability - Commands+". Select the command "On".
In the Requirements section, click the X button (Remove Requirement). Click OK.
17) Go to Data Type : Units
18) Select Commando.
19) On Ability - Abilities+, add the ability "Commando - Personal Cloaking".
20) On Ability - Command Card+, select an empty slot and add 2 buttons : Cloak and Decloak.
Cloak button :
Command Type : Ability Command
Ability : Commando - Personal Cloaking
Ability Command : Cloak (Ghost)

21) Commando needs energy

Stats - Energy Starting Amount : 50
Finish. "
But every time i am on Step 9, My unit does not come up in the list and it is freaking annoying.
What exactly are you trying to do? The clearer you make your post, the more people will be able to help you. Just saying "I'm so pissed off" is not a good thread title, either. In fact, many people will ignore the thread completely because of a title like that. Make it descriptive to your problem, such as "trying to give the marine the psi storm ability".
Did you just want to give commando Tychus the cloak ability (like the ghost?). If thats the case, make a map with campagin dependencies and open the data editor (F7). Make sure you are on the units tab. Then find the Tychus unit and modify the abilities field. Press the green + to add an ability and set it "ghost- cloak". Then modify the units command card. Press the green + and add a button for the cloak ability. If that is not what you want to do, send me a PM and I'll get back to you.

I assume you're talking about someone who volunteered their time to write a tutorial? If so, you've got a lot of nerve calling him a douchebag just because you don't understand or have difficulty following his directions. Even if the tutorial isn't good (I'm sure it's fine), that still valuable time that he spent trying to help other people. Have you tried actually working with him to resolve the problem? He might actually want to know if something is unclear. However, if you came at him like that, I wouldn't blame him if he didn't feel like helping you further.
Try being more respectful if you want people to help you. Why would we be interested in helping you if your first line makes it crystal clear that you will only take our valuable time for granted?
If you can't get the proper token, recheck step 5. If your unit name is Commando, but the ID is TychusFindlayCopy for example, your token you need to find is TychusFindlayCopy.
If it still doesn't work, just duplicate TychusFindlay(Commando) unit by right clicking the unit, then selecting duplicate, then put a checkmark in the box next to the actor Tychus Commando. Leave the checkmark in the very first box, that's the unit itself. You do not need any other checkmarks or duplicates.
You will see Tychus Findlay (Commando) Copy in the unit list, just rename/modify the Name and ID fields to Commando, then go to the Actors Tab, find Tychus Commando Copy, and rename/modify the Name and ID fields to Commando.
Don't worry about the Token if you do it this way.
But you will have to modify the Abilities + field on the unit and remove Tychus - Toss Grenade if you don't want it, aswell as Command Card + field on the unit and remove Hail of Lead button, and Toss Grenade button.
